Warning shots? Really? Where in the Ferguson PD manual (or any law enforcement manual for that matter) does it state that it is acceptable for an officer to fire a warning shot? Many departments specifically prohibit the use of a warning shot because the bullet has to go somewhere and it could result in bystander injuries or fatalities.

Well yes. Of course. As I independently noted just now. There isn’t a whole lot of doubt but that it was an aimed shot. But it’s possible that Wilson went off the page, and it’s much more possible that this was his story and that law enforcement can’t prove that it was aimed so they didn’t say so.
